I was living alone and was looking for a dog companion. As I was looking through Boulder, Colorado’s animal shelter online, Polly’s face popped up, and I knew she was for me. I called, got an appointment, went to see her, and took her outside in a visitor’s pen. After sniffing everything in sight, she came over to me, and I looked into her beautiful brown eyes and told her she was coming home with me. She was 5 years old and came to Colorado all the way from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This sweet, gentle dog gave me so much love and joy in my life. I was truly blessed to be her mom. The day before her crossing the rainbow bridge, a rainbow appeared on her, and I knew then I had made the right choice in this difficult decision. Although I have other dogs I deeply love, Polly’s sweet, gentle soul will be sorely missed. She left me a piece of her sweet soul that resides in my heart.
I love her for always greeting me like I was the best part of her day. I loved her all of her life with me and will miss her for the rest of mine.
